Abstract (en)

[origin: EP4016031A1] A pressure sensor (100) includes a pressure measuring device (120) including: a circuit board (121); and a processing unit (122) and a detection unit, both provided on the circuit board (121); the detection unit includes first, second and third MEMS sensing elements (123, 124, 125); the first MEMS sensing element (123) is configured to sense a first pressure (PI) at a first target position; the second MEMS sensing element (124) is configured to sense a second pressure (P2) at a second target position, and the third MEMS sensing element (125) is configured to sense a pressure difference (ΔP) between the first and second target positions; the processing unit (122) is configured to determine whether the three MEMS sensing elements (123, 124, 125) are abnormal based on the first and second pressures and on the pressure difference; if it is determined that at least one of the three MEMS sensing elements is abnormal, the processing unit (122) outputs abnormal diagnostic information; if it is determined that none of the three MEMS sensing elements is abnormal, the processing unit (122) outputs information about the pressure(s) at the first and/or second target position(s) and the pressure difference; thus rationality diagnosis of the pressure signals is achieved, resulting in increased reliability and accuracy in pressure measurement.
